1) There was no setting up and operation of a secret account. The account in question at the Ecobank Trust Towers account was not a secret account but a party account, albeit dormant.

2) The reactivation of the account was, however, done without all the necessary consultations and information at the National Executive level.

3) The committee found that disbursements made from the Ecobank account were done pursuant to the budget drawn up and approved for the by-election in Talensi.

4) The committee found there was no truth in the allegation of disbursement of £100,000 from any NPP account to the 2016 flagbearer.

Below is the full details of the committee’s work sent to the media:

On August 19, 2015, the National Executive Committee of the New Patriotic Party set up a committee to investigate allegations bordering on the setting up of a secret, unauthorised bank account; as well as unauthorised disbursements, including a payment of £100,000 (One hundred thousand pounds sterling) to the NPP flagbearer, from that account.

The committee’s terms of reference were: 1. to establish the bank accounts into which party funds had been lodged; 2. to determine disbursements made out of the accounts and the purpose for those disbursements;3. to establish the approvals for those disbursements; and4. to investigate other related matters.

5) There was no setting up and operation of a secret account. The account in question at the Ecobank Trust Towers account was not a secret account but a party account, albeit dormant.

6) The reactivation of the account was, however, done without all the necessary consultations and information at the National Executive level.

7) The committee found that disbursements made from the Ecobank account were done pursuant to the budget drawn up and approved for the by-election in Talensi.

8) The committee found there was no truth in the allegation of disbursement of £100,000 from any NPP account to the 2016 flagbearer.

The minority report arose out of the decision by Nana Ohene Ntow to make supplementary recommendations to which the other four members of the committee strongly objected on the grounds that they were either not within the committee’s terms of reference or warranted by the evidence before the committee.

The National Executive Committee authorised this release to inform the general public about the outcome of the committee’s work.
